We reached there at about 10plus, 11am. Luckily, we managed to get a parking lot immediately. Just that the crowds were already packing in as concurrently, there was also the Mothers & Babies Fair just beside the NATAS Travel fair.
We followed the seemingly never ending quene of people and finally reached the ticketing counter, where we bought our entrance tix and went in.
It was both our 1st time to NATAS. Heard that for this round, it is even bigger than the last one held. We were abit lost and walked aimlessly, where at the same time, lots of gals and boys were pushing promo pamphlets in our faces. Till the extent that I found it annoying and told them that I've already got it.
The 1st stop, we went to CHAN Brothers. The lady that served us was still ok. The package that we were looking at was more expensive than we thought. And upon knowing that they only fly by Turkish Airline for this pkg, we decided to give it a miss and looked around for other agencies. We would only want to fly by SQ.
Then we went to ASa Holidays booth, thinking that it was SA Tours, haha... the names were so similiar that we got it mixed up.
Anyway, this was the very same travel agency that baobei's friends went for their honeymoon last year.
The staff who served us was Barry Yip. A soft-spoken guy, who also told us that he was a tour guide himself. He seemed very experienced as he ran through the itinerary of the package he was recommending to us.
He even claimed that ASa Holidays provides one of the best accomodation for Europe Tour compared to others. And they even provides ear-piece for those museums tours, whereby you can listen and watch at the same time.
And also, the tour looks comprehensive, as it covers quite alot of central Europe; Paris (France), Brussels (Belgium), Amsterdam (Holland), Cologne (Germany), Lucerne (Switzerland), Venice (Italy) (which Baobei said this is the place he must go.), Rome & Florence (The places which I must go!)
Plus, they fly by SQ! Ok, we were sold!
Thus, our Honeymoon desination is confirm!!! "Europe Here we Come!!! Yippie!!!" (^.^)
We took up their 14D European Splendour Tour, which is about S$3,888 per pax(excl Taxes). And we shall be departing in July!!!
I was amazed that we've made our decision so fast and we came out of the fair in less than an hour in there. Hmm...
After that, we ate our lunch at Pizza Hut Tampines Mall, followed by catching a show with my sister at GV. We watched "Marley & Me". It was a really heart-warming show, probably it depicts everyone's everyday life, things that all of us have to go through. The ending made me cried despite me controlling myself, so embarrassing, but I don't care liew. My sis also shed some tears. I still remembered I cried buckets when I watched The Quill last time. Luckily, I watched it at home then.
After which, we shopped for a while at Tampines Mall, and I bought 3 pieces of clothing at Cotton On. The 1st piece was a spaghetti strapped blouse with oriental flowers and birds print. The 2nd piece was a really good buy, at $15 (50% off), happy! I was thinking for this piece, I can wear it with a thin leather belt for work, and for next time, I can even wear it when I'm preggy, hee... I loved clothing which are versatile! The cardigan was also reasonable @ $29.90, and the material was quite thick, not those thin thin kind. They were selling at two for $50, but then after considering for quite sometime, I realised I do not need two cardigans of the same design.
My next happy buy was a necklace with a butterfly pendant, bought from 77th Street. I loved it immediately, even though it was abit ex at $18 for a piece of fashion accessory. But then, I thought I was fated to meet "it" and it was also the one & only piece left. Thus, it went home with me! (^.^)

It should have been a perfect day for us, but was almost ruined by an incident that happened when we drove to the hawker centre to buy our dinner.
While waiting to park our vehicle, there was an available lot just beside where we were waiting. But a lady driver infront of us wanted that lot. She reversed beside us and signalled for hubby to wind down the window. It was an auntie looking lady probably in her early fifties.
At first, she told us that she was there first. But hey, she was waiting way infront of us. You mean by waiting there, you cover the entire parking lot? Moroever, she wasn't anywhere near to the available parking lot. Doesn't she knows that "First Come, First Serve". We are also not snatching her lot what...
Then when my hubby told her the above reason, she decided to change her approach by asking if we can let her have the lot, as she needed to go upstairs for a short while. Hubby doesn't want to. Then finally she asked us "Then you want the lot anot?", which my hubby said "Yes!". And then she replied in a rude tone "Then, don't talk anymore." Before she started to drive away, I was appalled by her damn rude attitude and I told her off. "I think you are being very rude."
She heard it, and wasn't happy with it. She managed to get a lot opposite us. And when we've alighted from our car, walking towards the hawker centre, she approached me saying that she wanted to clear the misunderstanding that she wasn't being rude at all. And ironically, she said she does not wants to quarrel with me.
To which, I told her I do not want to talk to her and there was basically nuthing to talk about. But she was damn persistant loh, kept insisting that she wasn't rude at all, blah blah blah.... Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore, losing my cool, I raised my voice at her, telling her that "we do not want to talk to you anymore!" Then, she said that I do not have to raise my voice at her and that afterall she was our elderly.... WTF!!! Whats wrong with her seriously?!!! Why can't she just pretend that nuthing happens and just walked away?? That was when my hubby told her that she has also got her lot and what more does she wants? Then we walked away to go get our dinner.
But guess what??? She was actually waiting for us to come back. OMG!!! I think she seriously has a problem....
My hubby, afraid that I may get into a heated quarrel with her, asked me to get into the car first. And when he got in, that auntie approached us again, this time saying "Mr, I think you look like a very nice guy, but your gf ya so mean...." I couldn't contain myself anymore and I decided to let my inner bitchiness unleashed itself. I told her off immediately "Hey, if you still continue anymore, I would take a picture of you and put on the internet!" and she can go on blah blah blah... (I simply couldn't remembered what she said, as it was raining heavily at the same time.)
The last straw came, when my hubby said to her if she kept on pestering us, we would call the cops. That was when she was afraid and said a very loud "Bye", to which I also said to her "Thanks, Bye Bye!"
I find this whole incident really really ridiculous and absurd loh... she was the one being rude first but ended up accusing me of being rude... OH MY MY...
But seriously, I've learnt something really really important!
"Not To Lose My Cool So Easily" no matter how the other party provokes you.
I think I've fallen into her trap by losing my cool, count myself unlucky.
